In this picture I can see a man holding a surfboard as if he was about to go for a swim in the water. He is wearing a full body protection suit. He is at the beach and the clouds and waters are gloomy.
I think that the purpose of this advertisement is to give a message across about how polluted our waters are. This message is put across by the way the man in the picture has to wear protection to go for a swim in the water.
I think that this picture is directed to everyone even children. It is directed at such a wide ranged audience because it takes more than a few people to fix a big problem. The way that it is directed at a large range of people is that firstly there are no words so it is easy to understand and secondly it is a plain and simple picture, which gets a strong message across.
The dark and gloomy colours in the picture, is what makes the message strong. They didn’t use bright and happy colours because this situation is serious.
I think that the creator chose to set the scene at a beach is because that it is were the serious problem is. All the sea creatures are dying because their homes have been polluted.
I think that the creator got the message across clearly at effectively.

In this advertisement, I can see a city that is printed on the brick wall of a pool. In this picture, it says, ‘DON’T LET THIS BE OUR FUTURE. SAVE OUR RAINFOREST, STOP GLOBAL WARMING.’
I think that the reason why the creator put this picture in a pool is to give the feeling of the whole world going under water because of global warming.
I think that this message would be directed to everyone in the world however because it is not in a place where everyone would be looking, it would mainly be directed to the people who swim in that pool.
I think that the creator chose this graphic to give it a realistic feel to the message which is being put across. He created this feel by placing the photo under water in a pool. He also used darker colours not only to blend in with the pool tiles but to give the feel that it is all dark and hopeless.
It says on the picture, ‘DON’T LET THIS BE OUR FUTURE. SAVE OUR RAINFOREST, STOP GLOBAL WARMING.’ They are saying that if global warming continues, the earth will be under water hence this picture being in a pool under water.
Overall, I think that the creator achieved highly and personally I think that it was a very thoughtful and creative idea.
